INTRODUCTION. 



With the increased study of later History in higher educa- 
tional fields during the past few years, and its examination along 
the practical lines of law, civics and economics, has come a natural 
demand for improved methods of historical study. Compliance 
with this demand has resulted largely in placing the student in the 
way of investigating for himself the original matter, a reproduction 
or description of which he formerly committed, and of so arranging 
the topics for this investigation, that they shall lead to the discovery 
of those great principles upon which the superstructure of all social 
science is erected. "No historical study is of any value which does 
not take in a knowledge of original authorities." To this end, the 
learner is brought, after his elementary text-book training in the 
grammar or secondary school, into the presence of a selected histor- 
ical library; directions for pursuing his investigations are placed in 
his hands ; every facility is accorded him for original work, and he 
must give account to his instructor in a system of reports, culmi- 
nating, after sufficient practice, in a paper, whose breadth of con- 
ception, grasp of historical principles and variety of treatment, show 
evidence of ability to work alone hereafter. The progressive teacher 
is no longer content with mere text-book recitation, whose useful- 
ness is bounded by the terms work, but wishes to train an investi- 
gator, an original worker, having skill in methods of work rather 
than possessing an accumulation of facts. 

Yet the difficulties in the way of such method frequently 
lead to its abandonment. In a few institutions the references and 
exercises are printed by the department of History. Where the 
finances will not permit this, many teachers set their own lists for 
classes or individuals, entailing a vast amount of labor and often 
resulting in confusion of data from copying. The use of set lists,

6 INTRODUCTION. 

made flexible by marking desirable topics, may prove beneficial to 
both instructor and class. 

Nor is the desire to investigate original sources confined to 
the class room and seminary. The private student in his library 
has been increased many fold by the organization of the Chautauqua, 
University Extension and similar movements, fostering largely the ' 
study of historical questions. A guide to the intricate paths 
they are pursuing may lighten the difficulties under which they 
labor. 

The aim in compiling this little book has been to make it as 
useful as possible ; choosing to err on the side of a superfluity rather 
than a paucity of directions ; mindful of the crowded curriculum 
which, by its limited time, demands a specific reference; not for- 
getting the embarrassment of the new student in the presence of the 
multitude of historical works which exist ; suggesting in the Exer- 
cises the means of developing thought and of preserving the results 
of the investigations. 

If the lists prove serviceable to students of High Schools, 
Colleges and Universities as well as to students away from these 
centers, their purpose will be fulfilled. 



ENGLISH CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY. 



The general custom of prefacing a study of American history 
with an examination of those parts of the unwritten English consti- 
tution, which by inheritance largely influenced the written docu- 
ments and gave form to many of the American institutions, has 
suggested the advisability of a few references upon these vital points.

LIST OF BOOKS QUOTED IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 

The selection of books to be quoted has been influenced by 
ascertaining those most commonly employed in different city 
libraries as well as in various reference libraries. Being at last 
largely a matter of judgment, the choice is far from closed to criti- 
cism. The brief life of many good books is show^n by their 
scarcity. Reprints have been noted as far as ascertained.
